The Chain, part two

Love letters across the continent

By The Europeans & Are We Europe

In this final installment of European love letters, we're travelling from Hungary to Germany, Germany to Russia, and across the border to Norway. This week we're celebrating the books that stay with us for a lifetime — and books that seem to have a life of their own. And we're heading to the Arctic with an extremely stubborn grandmother.

The Chain is presented by Mick ter Reehorst and is a collaboration between The Europeans and Are We Europe for Summer of Solidarity.

The stories you’ll hear were written by Philip Pollak, Viola Theunissen and Nina Lamparski. Mixing and sound design was by Katz Laszlo, production by Dominic Kraemer, and editing by Katy Lee. Music and sound effects from Blue Dot Sessions and Freesound.org. You also heard the Fourth Movement of Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 6 in B minor, and Divertimento from his Suite No.1, Op.43, via Musopen.
